To do:
- Morris Bernstein died recently. He lived in Los Angeles
- Beatrice died when Gene/Nancy were in DC (in the 1970s)
- Gene says: (Uncle) Ben hugged Gene, crying, and requested that Gene and Nancy name their child Beatrice if it it were a girl, so that there would be another Beatrice Bernstein. (Nancy and Gene were pregnant at the time, but subsequently miscarried.)
- Minnie was depressed for much of her life, and received "shock therapy" one or more times
- Minne and Eugene immigrated, from Bacau, Romania. (We don't know if they were married then, or whether they immigrated together or independently.)
